MiCoach requires a 30-pin adapter to communicate between the Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) and Stride Sensor. I've been looking for the bluetooth version, but is not available in Canada (sold out in the US). Help!

We have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata that has an iPod/iPhone interface along with a 30 pin to USB and mini stereo pin cable. How do I enable a new iPod Touch 5G to interface with and be controlled by the car's entertainment system?

Two years ago, I purchased a Hyundai iPod Charge and Play Audio Cable (30 pin) for my 2011 Sonata. It worked with my iTouch 2. I just purchased a Lightning to 30 pin cable ($39) to connect my iPhone 5 to the Hyundai 30 pin cable. It charges and it also plays the music on the iPhone5. The music sounds alittle different. Maybe its analog music instead of digital.

- i've seen mixed reviews about this and am looking for a straight answer to make a decision on purchasing this. will this product allow me to sync data on my laptop, charge and listen to my music using the iHome base unit?

I asked Apple about the capability of this connector and it just does audio (it may also charge, I didn't ask that). So if your iHome is a music player or similar with the old 'dock' connector then it should work. It won't do video.

To sync with your laptop you need the lead that came with your device. It's probably plugged into your charger right now :-)

Best of luck (remember that if you buy mail order from Apple in the UK and it isn't what you need you should be able to return it for a refund).

No, "iPod out" refers to a very specific feature that allows a display (usually a car's in-dash LCD) to show a replica of the iPod interface that can be navigated with an external set of controls (like buttons on a car's steering wheel). It's a very rare feature most often found in BMW and Mini automobiles.

Line out, which is just audio coming out of the connector, works just fine with this adapter. I have my iPhone 5 hooked up to my Kensington LiquidAux in my car using one of these and it works just perfectly.
